The 7 Other Benedict Cumberbatch Performances You Have To See

So you probably know him in Sherlock, and you definitely know him in Star Trek: Into Darkness (or maybe you just know him from Tumblr). But there's a reason the man is an Emmy-nominated actor. Here are the other Benedict Cumberbatch roles you need to see. And happy birthday, Ben!

Starter For 10 (2006)

Six words: Super uptight pub quiz team captain. (Also starring James McAvoy and Alice Eve and Rebecca Hall, this is one of those movies that reminds you that Britain only has like, 54 actors and they all just queue up for their turn in films.)

The Last Enemy (2008)

This BBC miniseries about a not-too-distant future where Britain is a surveillance state had the potential to be very good, but it is not. Still Cumberbatch acts his face off wherever he goes, so if you're a completist, you should give it a shot. (At the very least, it has a super hot smooch to recommend it.)
